CARDINAL GIsBoNs,s pRoTEGE.
Poor Cigarette Girl Whose Wonderful Voic
Is To Be Educated in Italy
Baltimore Special.

Baltimore Special
Miss Ellen Seaman, young singer of great
promise, is going from this city to Italy next
week, to pursue her musical studies. Cardinal
Gibbons will pay her expenses, as the
young girl IS very poor her
father being a laborer in the employ
of the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad The Cardinal
is an intense lover of music. One Sunday about
month ago. Miss Scanlan, who sang in a small
chapel In the southern part of the city, was in
duced by Father Graf. organist at the Cathedral
to sing the 30 Salutaris Hosta" while the Cardi-
nal was on his throne at vespers The girl had
never sung in the great Cathedral before, and as
she Is very young and modest consented only
after much solicitation.
AT the opening words of the solo her voice was
so low and futtering that it could not be heard
beyond the organ loft When she reached the
uni trinoque Domino" however. her voice came
forth IN all its sweet young freshness, and the
members of the Cathedral congregation,
although accustomed to good singing,
raised their eyes from their prayerbooks In
surprise, and hardly single one of them could
refrain from elancing up at the choir. Even
Cardinal Gibbons, who has seldom been known
to turn his eyes from the altar, faced the organ
loft directly. and did not turn his eyes from the
young singer till the last notes of ''Nobis donet
in patria"
Such sweet fresh, clear and pathetic voice
had not been heard in the old Cathedral for
years After the services everyb body was in
quiring the name of the singer and praising
her wonderful gift Cardinal Gibbons was also
girls name, the poverty of her family and the
necessity which compelled her to work in a
cigarette factory. The generous prelate then
sent for her, offered to pay her expenses while
studying music in Italy and only required tina,
she should sing in the Cathedral sometimes on
her return. She readily consented, of course
and soon she will be among the students at the
Florence Conservatory.
